We Prosper When

Hello there and welcome back to Six Minutes. Do you know, Ive got some age old
advice for you. Its an old, old concept that is one you might not be thinking of too
freely. Im going to ask you to spend the next four or five minutes thinking of this and Im
going to tell you something, I am myself. Because as I read this I thought, I dont do this
enough. And Ill bet you a dollar to a doughnut, you dont either. But if we did it more,
wed be so much better off.

Now, listen carefully. Houston McBain said, The old mousetrap story was true a hundred
years ago, and its as true today. If we make the best one and its priced right and we
serve a thousand people, we prosper. If we serve a million and do it better than our
mousetrap competitors, we prosper a thousand fold and not because we are
capitalistic. We prosper only because we serve more people better than any others.
We satisfy their wants and we help them along the way.

Im going to ask you to think of what you do. How do you spend your days? You dont
have to worry about what the other people are doing. Can you do what you do better
than youre doing ? Better is a nice word, youve often heard me say that. Can you do
what youre doing better than youre doing?

Now spend four or five minutes and think of what youre going to do today and then
ask yourself, How can I do it better? Its a great word. Its a good concept. Turn it into
a strategy for living. This is Bob Proctor and thank you.
